Earlier today, romantic connections between Democratic lawmaker Barney Frank and Fannie Mae executives1
were detailed in the media. During the 1990’s, Frank - who is openly gay - had romantic relationships with key Fannie Mae executives during his tenure on the House banking committee.
Frank often explored Fannie; and in public, Frank maintained that Fannie Mae was a firm and robust organization. Supporters of Fannie were known to be generous givers to Frank, who always had an eager hand out for their contributions. While speculation at the time was rampant over Frank’s motivations for his joining with Rep Joe Kennedy to soften Fannie Mae’s stance on home-mortgage rules, the thought of a personal liaison seems not to have arisen.
We attempted to reach-around Capitol Hill for comments on the matter, but those inquiries remained unsatisfied.

In fairness, the article only mentions one Executive, but Barney had a brothel run out of his house. Do you really think it was just one? Yeah, I didn’t think so either.

Single vs. Multiple relationships
Jill1066 Tuesday, September 30th at 5:32PM EDT (link)In reading the article it sounded like Barney Frank had one very lengthy, very serious relationship with one Fannie Mae executive. The blog posting implies there was more than one executive involved romantically with Frank. Was there someone else besides this Herb Moses fellow?
This is a skin-crawlingly horrible revelation. For Frank to consider have a relationship this close with someone working at a company under his congressional oversight is really bad. For the media to ignore this is sadly typical.
Ouch! nt

Barney Frank and Fannie in the same headline is bad enough without all the cheap tawdry information…

Certainly, Rep Frank will go down for this

Neither, really, is the Congressman, who admitted to the pay-for-play arrangement with Gobie.

You would think that he'd at least be asking for a probe.

While Erick's piece breathes new life into the term "bang for the buck", still,
streetwise Tuesday, September 30th at 9:57PM EDT (link)romantic complications aside, Fannie Mae has been a Democratic fiefdom for a very, er, long, time, and that explains its, er, extended, track record of shooting blanks (worthless paper) into the nation’s financial markets.
Gross.
